This has reminded N and I of the Bermondsey-born hero of Inherit the Stars, a glorious bit of sci-fi writing which is long overdue a re-issue. 📖 @bookstodon

Academic authors 'shocked' after Taylor & Francis sells access to their research to Microsoft AI
https://www.thebookseller.com/news/academic-authors-shocked-after-taylor--francis-sells-access-to-their-research-to-microsoft-ai
Authors have expressed their shock after the news that academic publisher Taylor & Francis, which owns Routledge, had sold access to its authors’ research as part of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) partnership with Microsoft—a deal worth almost £8m ($10m) in its first year.

So, You Are Assigned Classical Sociological Theory in the Fall…

My best advice: RUN! Of course, this is tongue-in-cheek. This is the first of two essays I am writing on teaching theory. It's been some time since I put words to paper on this (here, here, and here), and my thinking has evolved and changed. This essay is largely devoted to what I think is a nasty hangover in the guise of inertia: the insistence that we teach classical theory as required.

Help me out please, I’m looking for songs about disability or musicians with a disability where the disability influences their art. Possibly for a thing.

You might reach out to artists and activists too. Alice Wong is amazing and highly recommend her book, The Year of the Tiger: An Activist's Life. @bookstodon

Here’s all you need to know: GoodRx is offered for free to consumers. They regularly have better prices for drugs than the product that consumers are paying for.

Also, Cost Plus Drugs exists where they operate as a PBM, but refuse insurance. They clearly tell you their markup. I have yet to find a drug that’s not cheaper there.

Painful and counter productive politics surrounding the MMT conference. For gear heads, the paper he would have presented is available in the article.

“A major criticism of MMT by its real enemies—again, Neoclassical economists, not yours truly—is that no MMTer has ever presented a mathematical model of MMT. Minsky generates those equations, which were also part of this paper”

Mosler’s reaction, to demand Keen to be disinvited and the disinvitation, is a mistake that should be corrected for the future

“I was going to ignore the 5% I criticise to help the 95% I support—and if you’re an “MMTer” and you doubt these proportions, ask yourself whether you’d still be an activist for MMT if the only thing it asserted was that “Imports are real benefits and exports are real costs”? (Mosler 2010, p. 59)”
